Feedback from our Intro to Trail Running Clinic

  • 'Very inclusive vibe, felt like a safe space for women to share openly and ask questions without feeling intimidated, made trail running super accessible '

  • 'Trail basics was great, loved learning of trail etiquette, proper form running up and down hills, what to say when we see hikers, bikers etc.'

  • 'I loved the people and the welcoming nature each one had for the new members. I loved the encouragement everyone provided me for my first trail run. I got a very positive vibe from each member I came across in the group.'

  • '[I enjoyed] everything! Meeting Erin and Dee and Vee and Sean and Nelson, learning some strength moves form the amazing and approachable Jela, and getting a chance to run in a group, in nature. I also loved Erin's thoughtful land acknowledgements. And getting to know about Don't Mess With the Don and the work that's being done to protect native species and preserve the trails for public use.'

  • 'I liked the atmosphere that the facilitators created. It felt very accepting and perfect for beginners. I tried to get all my non-running friends to come :) '

  • 'The strength training session was fun, and it was great to try trail running along with a welcoming group. I also found it helpful to see how others are dressed, as I wasn't sure what layers I needed to be comfortable when running. It was great to be able to leave a jacket at the table - small logistics that help with making the step to go on a first trail run!'
